TurboTax '06 Issues
Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 12:47 am
If anyone is planning to use TurboTax to do their taxes, you might want to be aware of an issue with the software this year, which they haven't fixed yet.My kid's college account generates about $1200 a year in interest, so I have to file Form 8814 so I can add her "income" to my taxes. Well, there's a "Calculation" issue with TT this year, which, until they fix it, will NOT allow the eFiling of my return.Now, normally, I wouldn't be PO'd about this, but I CANNOT file my taxes until they get the error fixed. God, I HATE when the IRS gets to leep MY money any longer than they have to.And before anyone suggests that I change my W-4, I earn commissions, which has the federal tax withheld at an exorbitant rate.The fix is supposed to be out by the end of next week, so I'll keep everyone posted.
